"October Baby"

I wanted to start with how AMAZING this movie is. I saw October Baby when it came out (I think). This movie is a very meaningful movie. It's one of those "feel good" movies, but it still leaves you sad... it makes you think. Here's the synopsis from IMDb:

"As the curtain rises, Hannah hesitantly steps onto the stage for her theatrical debut in college. Yet before she can utter her first lines, Hannah-unscripted-collapses in front of the stunned audience. After countless medical tests, all signs point to one underlying factor: Hannah's difficult birth. This revelation is nothing compared to what she then learns from her parents: she was actually adopted ... after a failed abortion attempt. Bewildered, angered, and confused, Hannah turns for support to Jason, her oldest friend. Encouraged by his adventurous spirit, Hannah joins his group of friends on a Spring Break road trip, embarking on a journey to discover her hidden past ... and find hope for her unknown future. In the midst of her incredible journey, Hannah learns that every life is beautiful."

This is a very moving movie. It shows how important life is. How meaningful life is. Hannah is a 19 year old collage freshman who has a lot of medical issues. Later, come to find out, she's a survivor of a failed abortion. She decides to go on a trip with some friends to sort of clear her head and find her birth mother. Along the way she learns that every life is created by God. Every life is loved. "Every life is beautiful".

The music in this movie is incredible. For the touching moments, there's a perfect song to go with it. For more upbeat moments, there's a perfect song for that too. One of the songs is very unique. It's called "Ocean Floor" it's by a woman named Gianna Jessen. Gianna is a big part of this movie. The movie is based on her. Gianna Jessen is an abortion survivor. Below is "Ocean Floor" an amazing song:
